A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 42 g of water (with an

initial temperature of 20 °C) in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the system is 52.1°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*⁰C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw

Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)

Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

How does wind develop
avanturin [10]
It is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds that vary in speed. On Earth, air is also deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.

Solving part-1 only

#1

KMnO_4

  • Transition metal is Manganese (Mn)

#2

Actually it's the oxidation number of Mn

Let's find how?

\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x+1+4(-2)=0

\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x+1-8=0

\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x-7=0

\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x=+7

  • x is the oxidation number

#3

  • Purple as per the color of potassium permanganate

#4

\boxed{\begin{array}{c|c|c}\boxed{\bf Tube} &\boxed{\bf Charge} &\boxed{\bf No\:of\; electrons\: loss}\\ \sf 2 &\sf +6 &\sf 6e^-\\ \sf 3& \sf +2 &\sf 2e- \\ \sf 4 &\sf 4 &\sf 4e^-\end{array}}

Why don’t these gases tend to form chemical bonds?
erik [133]

If you’re talking about noble gases, the answer would be A. Since noble gases already have 8 electrons, they don’t tend to form chemical bonds. And elements need just 8 electrons on there shells to be stable.

The direction of electrical force is based on the fact that like charges will___each other.
NeTakaya

Answer:

repel

Explanation:

When it comes to electrical forces, "opposites charges attract" while "like charges repel."

There are primarily two types of charges: positive charge and negative charge. The forces they exert upon each other will depend on their charges. The<u> positive charge has an </u><em><u>attractive force</u></em><u> to a negative charge.</u> On the contrary,<u> it has a</u><em><u> repulsive force</u></em><u> to the same positive charge</u>. Thus, it will repel each other.

So this means that <em>opposite charges will draw closer together</em> while<em> like charges will move apart from each other.</em>
